I've really missed VoodooPC, and their forum. I had a EGAD and an OMEN and loved them. It was a sad day when they sold out to HP. I still wonder what HP really got out of the deal as they really only use the name on one or two occasional items and while Rahul & company knew their stuff, but HP...

What is the actual res for 2k?

Huh, interesting. I'll have to look into those as I am not familiar with them. As for my budget, I'd like to stay below $1000 USD, but would probably go up to $1500 or so if there was a good reason to do so.

I have long planned to step up to a 1440p ultrawide with my next PC build, preferably 32-36". Well, I've started planning my next build, although the build will be delayed until I can get an RTX 3080 at it's retail price. 1440p ultrawide always seemed like the sweet spot, it's not only a higher...

Thanks!

I've just started figuring out the parts for a new build, but since my pc has to sit to the left of my desk I've been looking for cases that week take a full sized atx board that has the components and window on the right side of the case. I'd prefer just a reverse build, but even a reverse...

Hello, it's been awhile since I've been in the forum here, and boy do I miss the website, but my current rig is finally showing it's age so I'm going to build myself a new PC but need some advice. I can't fund the form that we used to be asked to use, but I'll try and post any off the items I...

Yeah, I'm in the same position, it's been ages since I've visited the forums and was just looking for that form myself before posting to ask for build suggestions

This begs the further question, replace my CPU with what? Unless the newest Intel or AMD CPUs don't have this issue how exactly can you avoid it?

So why is it that such pains seem to be taken to avoid sharing pcie lanes, and the need of various sockets and configurations to share lanes always seems to be stated as a negative? That's what made me curious.

Do you really think US companies are any better at protecting your privacy? First we have our own government being hacked, including the NSA & CIA are two among many, not to mention IRS workers loosing laptops with millions of taxpayer's data on them. Then we had retailers like Target & Home...

This reminds me of how the media praise Apple's innovation in the late 90's when they started offering their all in one imacs G3's in.............................. different "flavours." For some reason all these outlets thought having one panel on these old CRT all in ones a selection of a few...

It just seems that more and more the issue of shared lanes is being raised in discussion on builds, be it in forums or videos, it used to be limited to SLI builds and/or builds where a lot of add in cards will be used, but it's coming up more frequently now due to more and more people wanting to...

With PCIe lanes being at a premium in current systems, especially with the advent of the m.2 nvme drives, which were first developed, produced and promoted by Intel, why hasn't Intel increased the number PCIe lanes in their mainstream processors, hell for that matter a few more on the i9s...

An interesting read, although it's easy to understand why such information is kept quiet, I mean any problem with anything related to nuclear weapons and people immediately think we were a heartbeat away from a terrible nuclear explosion, as they seem to think of warheads as these fragile things...
